| Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife
| José era un buen hombre aunque mató a su esposa
|
| His hungry little children, he took their lives
| Sus hijitos hambrientos, les quitó la vida
|
| This was the end of a desperate man
| Este fue el final de un hombre desesperado
|
| With only love in his eyes, no evil hands
| Con solo amor en sus ojos, sin manos malvadas
|
| He was standing at the sky’s edge
| Estaba parado en el borde del cielo
|
| And out there who knows what he’s thinking
| Y por ahí quién sabe lo que está pensando
|
| He was sliding down the razor’s edge
| Se deslizaba por el filo de la navaja
|
| And watched his life slowly sinking
| Y vio su vida hundirse lentamente
|
| Away, away
| Lejos lejos
|
| Mary was a troubled girl, she stole to eat
| María era una niña conflictiva, robaba para comer
|
| She had to sell her body to put shoes on her feet
| Tuvo que vender su cuerpo para calzarse los pies
|
| Stole a car and tried to get away
| Robó un auto y trató de escapar
|
| Now all she hears is the rain on the roof
| Ahora todo lo que escucha es la lluvia en el techo
|
| At sky’s edge jail
| En la cárcel del borde del cielo
|
| She was standing at the sky’s edge
| Ella estaba de pie en el borde del cielo
|
| And out there who knows what she’s thinking
| Y por ahí quién sabe lo que está pensando
|
| She was sliding down the razor’s edge
| Ella se deslizaba por el filo de la navaja
|
| And watched her life slowly sinking
| Y vio su vida hundirse lentamente
|
| Away, away
| Lejos lejos
|
| They were standing at the sky’s edge
| Estaban de pie en el borde del cielo
|
| And out there who knows what they’re thinking
| Y por ahí quién sabe lo que están pensando
|
| They were sliding down the razor’s edge
| Estaban deslizándose por el filo de la navaja
|
| And watched their lives slowly sinking
| Y vieron sus vidas hundirse lentamente
|
| Away, away, away, away, away
| Lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos
|
| Jacob was misguided, he carried a blade
| Jacob estaba equivocado, llevaba una espada
|
| So much fear in the city it carried him away
| Tanto miedo en la ciudad se lo llevó
|
| Young men were fighting and loosing their lives
| Los jóvenes luchaban y perdían la vida
|
| At night as the screech howls in the trees watch
| Por la noche mientras el chillido aúlla en los árboles observa
|
| Young men die
| Los hombres jóvenes mueren
|
| They were standing at the sky’s edge
| Estaban de pie en el borde del cielo
|
| And out there who knows what they’re thinking
| Y por ahí quién sabe lo que están pensando
|
| They were sliding down the razor’s edge
| Estaban deslizándose por el filo de la navaja
|
| And watched their lives slowly sinking
| Y vieron sus vidas hundirse lentamente
|
| They were standing at the sky’s edge
| Estaban de pie en el borde del cielo
|
| And out there there’s dangerous thinking
| Y por ahí hay pensamientos peligrosos
|
| They were standing at the mirror’s edge
| Estaban parados al borde del espejo
|
| And watched their lives slowly sinking
| Y vieron sus vidas hundirse lentamente
|
| Away, away, away, away, away | Lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos, lejos |
